Yet It Would Be Remiss to Pretend the Present Crowd (I.e. Government) Doesn't Have its Own Stars and Lesser Lights...

*In addition to the overly-maligned - yet simultaneously almost universally recognized - Attorney-General (et al) David Parker, may I herein salute...

*the ever-available, present-day 'Minster of Everything' Chris Hipkins...sure, hard-working and effective, but moreover ever sunny and moreover seemingly a citadel of impeccable integrity...

*Labour's Defence Minster Peni Henare, himself a likable and honourable character, and withal a generous-minded and independent-speaking person - whom Yours Truly a year or so ago, incidentally, hitched a ride with a fellow who'd attended a conference whereat Henare spoke, a fact I uncovered after I'd successfully guesstimated that Henare was the speaker thereat...

*The Government's new Justice Minster, the rising and rising and rising Kiri Tapu-Allen, whose own integrity is palpably evident with even just a cursory glance at her appearances whenever the House is in session...and moreover her own likeability and pleasant - oh so un-politically partisan - manner...

...who, moreover, like National's own one-time rising star Nikki Kaye, 'miraculously' survived a cancer death sentence awhile ago... 

Postscript: 

And let's not forget Labour's (now?) covid minister and Associate Minister of Health Ayesha Verrall, one of the most (essentially) decent people to enter cabinet in recent times...perhaps a little too decent, if truth may be told!

Admittedly, one equally vile  (as the Older Testament Book of Daniel  expresses things), but with more 'hits' in its voluminous description thereof... But as a minor 'little' Antichrist counterpart of the aforementioned, a good case could well be made!

A Welcome Non-Partisan Move, For Sure - by Simon Bridges; But One Smart Move Does Not A Real Leader Make: THAT Requires 'the Balls' To Stand Alone, Knowing You Have the Right Upon Your Side, While All the - Rest of - the World Thinks You're Barking Mad...and Stands Ready - as Jesus' Own Family Once Did, Declaring Him 'Out of His Mind' - to Commit you for Life (& Eternity)...

Vis-a-Vis NZ National Party leader Simon Bridges' Budget Reply Debate Speech Two Days Ago... TO BE CONTINUED.. Wednesday May 20th: Events now well and truly having moved on by now, let me nevertheless post what I scribbled in my notebook on Friday the 16th following the previous afternoon's post-Budget day addresses - by Bridges et al... Mr Bridges Shows his Quality At Last Resiling from ye standard politically partisan post-Budget 'No Confidence' motion in the Government (of the day) as has been delivered by any and every Opposition leader 'from time and immemorial', National's leader (for the time being, anyhow) Simon Bridges delivered an extremely balanced and temperate response to the financial largesse to be bestowed as per the Finance Minister's Third Budget... No fiery theatrics and histrionics for sure, much less a burning, vitriolic denunciation of all things Labour-ish, so, no, the speech won't be noted in the annals and vaults ...
